1. A display device, comprising:
a display panel including:
a first array of light emitters having a first spacing in a first emission region of the display panel;
a second array of light emitters having a second spacing distinct from the first spacing in a second emission region of the display panel that is distinct from and mutually exclusive to the first emission region; and
an optical filter including:
a first filter region, wherein the first filter region changes distribution of first light from the first array of light emitters impinging on the first filter region so that the first light has a first distribution after passing through the first filter region; and
a second filter region distinct from the first filter region, wherein the second filter region changes distribution of second light from the second array of light emitters impinging on the second filter region so that the second light has a second distribution distinct from the first distribution after passing through the second filter region.
